The Real World

So, can you really use anything you learn in high school in the real world? I have heard this all the time. "Where will we ever use this in life? Why do we have to know this?" I do understand. I like to know that what I'm learning is useful. I don't enjoy feeling like I'm wasting my time. However, I also find learning experiences in everything I do even when others can't see it. Let's see if you can do that. You are going to answer your own questions - for prizes (bonus points, candy, etc). I will periodically check the discussion and reward those that have contributed!

Real World Rules - post using the following format:
I'm glad I know _, because one day I will __. (first name last initial)
  • Must come up with something different than all the other posts
  • Must be specific
  • Underline what you know and what one day you will...

You can post your response on the discussion page, accessible from the tab at the top of this page.
